"Reducing sugar intake" is not the same thing as ketosis. I have no strong opinions on whether it would work or not, but that's an article addressing something different and more clearly a misunderstanding.

Even in ketosis your body keeps a stable amount of glucose in your body. The mechanism is different, but the end result isn't.

Your brain _only_ operates on glucose, you'll never run out unless something is seriously wrong with your body.
